Review: Magic Factory F4U-1 & F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. 'A New Line of Plastic Corsairs on the Horizon'
I recently got round to finishing these pair of Corsairs from Magic Factory's new tooled set, this set is a dual-combo build of an F4U-1A and an F4U-2 Nightfighter but with minimal effort the -2 can be reverted to a -1 which is what I've [...]
Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair from VMF-312
This one was a long time in coming. The build was interrupted by a house move and the need to build a new model studio with a paint booth. But once that was done, I got back to painting.
To get the build done, I used Quinta cockpit and [...]
Tamiya 1:48 Vought F4U-1A Corsair Kit #61070 1998 (new parts added)
This is one of Tamiya's finest kits in my opinion, nary a problem during the build.Looking for something different to do to a corsair, I stumbled upon the "colourized" photo shown. I can't vouch for the accuracy but it started my [...]

1/72 Tammy F4U-1D
Needed a bit of quick gratification, and it's Tamiya to the rescue. No surprises, great fit, adequate detail, what's not to like?
Finished in Tamiya Gloss Blue, the first coat was so shiny I had to semi gloss coat it so I could see the [...]
Academy 1/72 F4U-1a New Zealand
I had decided to join the Jim Sullivan group build with a Corsair, and then saw a couple of other iModelers post builds of this aircraft assembled from the remains of two damaged aircraft that had worn different paint schemes. I found a [...]
F4U-5 Corsair U.S.NAVY
The Chance Vought Corsair was developed in 1938 to the specifications of the U.S. Navy, which wanted a fast single-seat fighter that could take off from an aircraft carrier and which had the most powerful engine on the market at the time [...]
Experiments in heavy weathering – a Birdcage Corsair in 1/48 Scale
I wanted to try out some rather heavier weathering than usual, and I also haven't done any US Navy aircraft from the Second World War before, so in the spirit of a bit of a challenge I figured I'd try to spruce up Tamiya's rather old [...]
